5 * functions.
6 *
7 * ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an algorithm for Authenticated Encryption
8 * with Associated Data (AEAD) that can be used to encrypt and
9 * authenticate data. It is based on ChaCha20 and Poly1305 by Daniel
10 * Bernstein and was standardized in RFC 7539.

63 * \brief This function initializes the specified ChaCha20-Poly1305 context.
64 *
65 * It must be the first API called before using
66 * the context. It must be followed by a call to
67 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_setkey() before any operation can be
68 * done, and to \c mbedtls_chachapoly_free() once all
69 * operations with that context have been finished.
70 *
71 * In order to encrypt or decrypt full messages at once, for
72 * each message you should make a single call to
73 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_crypt_and_tag() or
74 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_auth_decrypt().
75 *
76 * In order to encrypt messages piecewise, for each
77 * message you should make a call to
78 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_starts(), then 0 or more calls to
79 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update_aad(), then 0 or more calls to
80 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update(), then one call to
81 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_finish().
82 *
83 * \warning Decryption with the piecewise API is discouraged! Always
84 * use \c mbedtls_chachapoly_auth_decrypt() when possible!
85 *
86 * If however this is not possible because the data is too
87 * large to fit in memory, you need to:
88 *
89 * - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_starts() and (if needed)
90 * \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update_aad() as above,
91 * - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update() multiple times and
92 * ensure its output (the plaintext) is NOT used in any other
93 * way than placing it in temporary storage at this point,
94 * - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_finish() to compute the
95 * authentication tag and compared it in constant time to the
96 * tag received with the ciphertext.
97 *
98 * If the tags are not equal, you must immediately discard
99 * all previous outputs of \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update(),
100 * otherwise you can now safely use the plaintext.
101 *
102 * \param ctx The ChachaPoly context to initialize. Must not be \c NULL.
